An Islender Pullover
Soft and Light
4 Saturdays, 1 to 5 p.m.
Starts May 10
Venessa’s Islender
I’ve been longing for an Islender sweater for years. There are many versions. Each Nordic country has their own. I wanted one that could be worn inside; that didn’t have wide patches of plain fabric at the shoulders and sleeves; that had a more modern fit; that had a softer more feminine feel to it. So I have taken all the best parts from all the pictures I’ve seen. I put all these bits into a bottom up, classic raglan design with some nice touches. This is a beautiful fabric. I’ve chosen good quality, accessible yarns. It is a soothing, rythmic colourwork design, that is so enjoyable to knit. I am so happy to share this pattern with you. It is size inclusive, and can be customized to fit you.
